Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography A Disease-Oriented Approach

Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography: A Disease-Oriented Approach offers Radiologists and Nuclear Medicine specialists a thorough understanding of the clinical application of PET-CT-a groundbreaking modality that provides a powerful fusion of imaging anatomy and metabolic function. Written with a disease-oriented approach, PET-CT examines understanding, using, and interpreting PET-CT imaging in clinical practice. Co-authored by experts in both PET and CT imaging, this text serves as an integrated review of the practical aspects of this new imaging modality while providing comprehensive and evidence-based coverage. This volume covers all clinical entities for which PET-CT can be utilized in today's modern practice.
Using an integrated disease-oriented approach, PET-CT reviews:
the diagnostic settings in which PET-CT will prove most valuable
literature-based evidence for utility, applications, and limitations to each disease
integrated discussion of the CT findings that will bear on the PET interpretation and vice versa
"next steps" in the clinical evaluation of a patient (i.e., additional imaging studies indicated)
